Since lockdown is here, let's take some time to do some soccer reminiscing. What defeat in history has been the most painful ever for the super eagles? I will pick the 2000 AFCOn finals against Cameroon. Share yours

Loss to Denmark in France 98

Definitely Nigeria-Cameroon 2000. Don't even want to remember it again.

Me na that match wey Sani Kaita collect red card for South Africa 2010. I vex so tey I don forget whether na South Korea or Greece sef.

The most painful moment of that match was a shot going wide but Peter Ruffai dived full length to keep the ball in play only for Igor Sand to do the easiest of tap ins.

I would say Italy vs Nigeria (USA 94)

Nigeria 1 vs Italy 2



Few minutes to make history... At. USA 94

USA 94: 2--1 loss to Italy
A game in which we dominated and had just 2mins to move into the quarter finals, but lost due to two reasons .
#bad substitution by the coach clemens westerHoff
When one of our top winger/striker and only
Scorer in that match, Emmanuel Amunike was taken out by the Italians through an injury, instead of replacing him with Victor Ikpoeba nicknamed the "The Prince of Monaco (one of the hottest strikers in Europe at that moment ) , he brought in a defender
After the tournament the famous Jurgen Klinsmann who was his partner in Monaco said he was shocked that the prince of Monaco, ,the rave of the moment went to the world cup and didn't kick a single ball

Secondly was the overconfidence and exuberance of the players like okocha who Was showboating

None to mention aside 1989 FIFA YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP, Nigeria VS Ussr u20.

Not super eagles though.

Mine as well is the 2005 under 20 world cup in Holland.

Our lost against Argentina in the Final.

That small devil did the damage then.

So painful to me personally, because the boys really put up a great performance throughout the Finals.

Two penalty kicks in a Final is damn too harsh!

Mine is that 1-0 loss during the 2006 world cup qualifier against angola

D most recent Mahrez last minutes strike... Ahhh akpeyi oo... Alg 2-1 Nig
